SUBJECTS/DOCTRINES/DIGEST:
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE?
PETITIONER SERVO FILED A CLAIM AT PDIC ALLEGING THAT AN ACCOUNT IN THE NAME OF GUTIERREZ WAS HERS. PDIC DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER DOCUMENTS SHOWING THAT SHE OWNS THE ACCOUNT. SERVO FILED A CASE AT RTC. RTC SAID IT HAS NO JURISDICTION BECAUSE PDIC IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL BODY AND ITS DECISION HAS TO BE APPEALED TO THE COURT OF APPEALS NOT AT RTC. SERVO FILED A PETITION FOR CERTIORARY BEFORE C.A. WITH AN ALTERNATIVE PRAYER ASKING ALSO THAT C.A. CONSIDERS HER PETITION AS A PETITION FOR CERTIORARI QUESTIONING THE DECISION OF PDIC. C.A. AFFIRMED RTC DECISION. ON THE ALTERNATIVE PRAYER C.A. SAID THE ISSUE ON JURISDICTION MUST BE BROUGHT BEFORE SC SINCE IT IS A PURE QUESTION OF LAW. THE SUPREME COURT SAID C.A. AND NOT RTC HAS JURISDICTION OVER PDIC. THE ALTERNATIVE PRAYER OF SERVO MUST BE DENIED BECAUSE IT WAS FILED LATE (2 YRS OR MORE THAN 30 DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF PDIC DECISION.)
